I was watching The Blacklist last night and started thinking that Red and Cal have similarities - both trying to connect with a long-lost daughter (my viewing has been sporadic, my attention distracted, so I'm assuming she's his daughter), both men having done terrible things. Seemed to be some parallels there .... (and, both daughters being pretty much meh for me)
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
When Skye tells Jiaying that she started to empathize with Cal, it actually rang true to the point that it was annoying to see her call Shield, although in hindsight that made sense too.
Well, since she doesn't really know what's been going on with Shield, I think she did it to protect Cal. She trusts May and Coulson to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone, in a humane fashion. So her calling them really worked for me.
I don't like the cheap tv trick of characters catching glimpses of Coulson with Ward with no explanation.
Agreed - it's SO cheap, that Tom called it as soon as the suggestion to do so left May's mouth. I'm glad Coulson decided to get in the mix so we can stop with all these Three's Company misunderstandings.
I am also glad that Bakshi is back in the game, because he's awesomely evil. I reallllllly hope Mike doesn't get too fucked up with this kidnapping, because goddamn, he has been through enough.
Also, I see some rehab writing on the wall for Ward and I am not liking the look of it.

You can tell from the dialog that Joss took a pass at the script. (Also, a leaf in the wind)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously. I'm barely paying attention, but it feels so Jossy!
Also like a promo for Age of Ultron?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yes, it was very Jossian. Those last few minutes were fabulous. I'm glad I already have my tickets for Saturday.

I'll have to remember not to watch next week, since I won't see AoU for another week.

"He has them vote on decisions!" And Maria's jaw drop of disbelief.
And of course, "Oh! Spoiler alert!"
Phil is such a wonderful troll. And looks great in Adidas-brand tactical gear.
I think I believe that Ward wants to help Kara. I don't believe anything else. "I'm still glad I shot you."

I didn't quite get that. I went to a merry-go-round place, but was it a jab at the spikes?

It finally occurred to me why it felt so wierd that other!SHIELD doesn't like secrets.
YOU'RE A SPY AGENCY. OF COURSE THERE ARE SECRETS. eyes rolling forever.
